Hmmm, there are definitely a few spurious entries in the spreadsheet (which I've deleted when I've seen them), but a difference of 38 is pretty big. I'll compare at some point. Either way, the final GB total will vary wildly depending on how much you include; omit variants, compilations, demo discs, and games that are impenetrable for non-speakers of Japanese (and Korean), and you've got a much smaller fileset.

The story of the IDE adapter going to Stone Age could be found here. It looked like it would never come to bear fruit but it looks like they worked out versions for multiple systems. Still nothing for sale. I was going to go for the IDE44 so the price jump isn't that high, it does suck for those who were going to get the IDE40.

My US/Japanese/Korean folders combined are 158 Gigs. Now this is just a guestimate, a few repeats and demo discs are included but it's just to give you an idea. A 200GB drive will provide all the space you need and more.

If these ever start selling my FZ-10 will probably be up for trade for a second FZ-1.

As for grimm he left us. I sent him an e-mail months ago as I was trying to get him a boxed controller but he never replied.

I don't see tons of info on Stone Age Gamer's site. Anybody know the story?

And, regarding this product vs. the elusive IDE adapter, what's the size of a full 3DO ISO image set?

Thanks,

SAG made a brief mention about it on another website (perhaps AtariAge, I don't recall). I believe they have to be wired up roughly the same way as the IDE mod? I'm not 100% sure.

My FZ-10 has issues (primarily the clip that hits the CD button from the drive door snapped off, so it's hard to get discs to spin), so it would be the perfect unit to try one of these mods with. However, the prices are out there.. I don't think I can justify it right now.

I looked at what I have, if you remove the samplers, demos, kiosk discs and repetitive games (same game diff disc or country) I get about 142.7 GB. So a 150BG drive will be fine. Which is good as the ebay auction said IDE up to 150GB.

Howdy-

To which eBay auction do you refer? If it's the one that I bought from Stone Age Gamer the other day, it says 120GB max, which SAG confirmed via e-mail. I do hope that's incorrect & 150GB is the correct number!

Also, the developer website seems to be down to be revamped, so I can't corroborate the size limit with him...
